		In 1018, Olof's cousin, the earl of Westrogothia, Ragnvald Ulfsson and the Norwegian king's emissaries Björn Stallare and Halte Skeggesson had arrived at the thing of Uppsala in an attempt to sway the Swedish king to accept peace and as a warrant marry his daughter Ingegerd Olofsdotter to the king of Norway.
		Olof was also forced to accept a settlement with Olaf II of Norway at Kungahälla, who already had been married (unbeknownst to Olof) with Olof's daugher, Astrid, through the Geatish jarl Ragnvald Ulfsson.

		Chapter 2 presents a brief overview of the historical process behind immigration to Sweden from the post-war period until today, give an orientation on the development of Swedish immigration policy during this period, and analyses the composition of the immigrant population in a number of different dimensions.
		Further, many of the parameter estimates are non-proportional, indicating different integration processes, for instance as a consequence of differences between individuals in their ability to find information on the returns to education in the new country, in the short and in the long run.
		Hence, the results stress the importance of having been able to be part of the labour force in Sweden rather than to have invested in a Swedish education.
